# Rustic Fantasy Bridal Portraits Photos by Ryan Brenizer Show a Girl on a Journey in Two Dimensions By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-05-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryan-brenizer References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/ryan-brenizer-claudia-nallely-agres-wedding-photos) & [ryanbrenizer](http://www.ryanbrenizer.com/) Putting a creative spin on [bridal photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright), Ryan Brenizer created 2D scenes by taking photos horizontally. The photographer worked with bridal model Claudia Nallely Agres in order to take the surreal photos. Each scene shows Agres on her [fantasy adventure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realized-fantasy) in pseudo-2D form. Despite being taken on a wooden floor, each scene is still realistic. The pictures also have a rustic feel through the impromptu props used to represent people and objects. The photos seem to tell a story of an innocent girl chasing after flowers and eloping with her lover. Each picture was positioned to look as if Agres is in mid-motion. Whether she's skipping, flying or riding a bike, the photos truly feel animated. Agres's hair along with [her dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-lingerie-line) were flared out in order to create a sense of motion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Creative Bridal Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to capture bridal portraits by utilizing creative and unconventional photography techniques like creating 2D scenes. - **Surreal Fantasy Imagery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine reality and fantasy in photography by creating surreal scenes and storytelling visuals. - **Rustic Prop Representation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unique props and techniques to add a rustic touch to photography, enhancing the overall aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Wedding Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate unconventional photography techniques to create distinctive and memorable wedding photographs. - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with surreal and fantasy elements in fashion photography to create captivating visual narratives. - **Event Planning and Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce rustic-themed props and decor elements in event planning to add a unique and enchanting touch to special occasions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Next-Day Wedding Photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-photos.md) - [Non-Traditional Wedding Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssense-bridal-20.md) - [Hotel-Inspired Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-st-regis-chicago-x-atelier-mira-couture.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Powerful Modern Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md)
